Only thing I can think of is if she has to go out to potty????? Is she whining like she wants something or crying like in pain? I s she urinating more during the day, like a urinary infection? I would try walking her outside if that is feasible and see if this quiets her down. Kay....Bo..Black miniature schnauzer.. 1995-2007..Diabetes & IBD. Emma 6 years non-diabetic. S/P mini schnauzer .

I read that pooches , like humans, should have down time prior to bed to help the brain 'shut down' for a good nights sleep. If the crying/whimpering stops once she's gotten your attention and gets her belly rubs etc.... sounds like she just awakens and is bored and wants mama and daddy's attention and has learned how to get it! ; ) I'd say all the more likely if she is fine during the day. However ,since UTIs can come about very quickly, might be a good idea to have a specimen tested to confirm or rule out.

Since Abby doesn't appear to be in any pain, I think she's just looking for a little attention! At 2 years old she probably doesn't need a whole lot of sleep like an older dog or a puppy And since you've been getting up and giving her attention, she's aware that mum 'n' dad are available for tummy rubs no matter what time of day or night! But, of course, as others have mentioned, if she needs to pee, it could be an infection or some kind of blockage that creates erratic peeing. I'd get her checked out by a vet, just to make sure. In my next life, I want to come back as a dog and live at your house!

Abby does go out to pee most of the time. however at night we do have a area with papers and that for her. she does get down and use them when she needs too. so i dont think its that. but we will get a sample when we take her for her shots in 2weeks. and Terry she does rest a but during the day and night before we go in. some days she wil rest a bit others she wants too play for 24 hours and we cant keep up with her hahahaha. she is so cute and we love her so much. i never thought id love another like Babette but i do love Abby. it was 2 years on Sept 28 that Babette passed, goes so fast. However i must say its a little different type of love if that makes sense too u. hope and pray all of u are doing well and that your babies are also good. please take care and ty again for the help . all of u are so wonderful too do what u do here. Oh Jac u are welcome at my home anytime puppy or not hahahahahaha yes she does have it very good here. Love ya Marty, Skip, Angel Babette, Baby Abby

It IS really hard to explain, isn't it? I guess it's the same as the people we love. We love each one in a slightly different way, right? It doesn't really matter, though. Love is love. And that's all that matters to our beautiful dogs, I think.

I know when we lost our first 'child', a poodle-mix named Puffy, I thought I'd never love another as much and it took me almost two years before I could think of getting another. That's when we got Missy and I don't have to explain how much I loved THAT little squirt! Loved her as much as Puffy but loved her for her uniqueness just as I loved Puffy for hers. Now I have Naddie and Quincy and they too have their own uniqueness and when their time comes I'll be just as devestated. Each is loved to the same degree but each for their own individual 'being'.
